It's not exactly a micro-PC, but I run my personal SC server on a $225 Dell that I found from Amazon here.

It runs a few other server applications too (xbmc, ftpes) and I haven't noticed a performance issue. That price is a little higher than what you mentioned, but it did come with a Windows 8 license and acceptable hardware.

All of the Zotac micro boxes are available bare bones, meaning you add whatever ram and SSD you want. You can usually go that route and get a decent amount of memory and a better ssd for what you would pay for the prefab version.

My SC server is a Zotac ID83, which has been running rock solid 24/7 for several years now. But I have a full size Samsung SATA SSD and plenty of ram in it. Those 32Gb setups usually ship with really slow, unreliable eMMC drives and the crappiest ram they can find.
